“This sheepskin map looks very ancient!” said Cheryl as favonovel.com took a close look at the map.
As a result, favonovel.com realized that favonovel.com did not know any of the words on it. “It’s weird. What kind of texts are this? I can’t recognize them at all.”
Alex took over the map and looked at it but favonovel.com could tell the difference. “This isn’t sheepskin. This is dragon skin.”
“D-dragon?” Cheryl was stunned. In favonovel.com impression, such creatures like dragons belonged to myths and legends. Could it be that dragons really exist?
“The texts on it belong to the ancient texts of the golden era,” Alex continued but soon favonovel.com shook his head. “This map is not complete. This is just a part of it.”
Cheryl asked, “Do you know the ancient texts too? What kind of texts are they? Are they the Olmec hieroglyphs?”
Alex shook his head.
He learned these texts through the legacy of the Ultimate Book of Medicine too. For example, the texts formed in the art of Zharvakko were ancient texts and the many runes on the Zharvakko talismans were in fact of these ancient texts.
This meant that this map was probably passed down from the ancient times.
Unfortunately, favonovel.com did not recognize the names of the places marked on the map at all.
Then, favonovel.com put the map and documents into his backpack. Alex looked at Cheryl and said, “It’s almost done. Let’s go!”
Then, favonovel.com took a glance at the things put in the chamber. While feeling slightly reluctant, favonovel.com grabbed a few pieces of jade that had essence and used the Force to absorb the essence on the spot.
Unexpectedly, the absorption speed was extremely fast this time.
Within a short moment, the essence inside the jades was completely absorbed. After the absorption, the fine jades turned into grayish white jades, with their values dropping drastically to rock-bottom. They were no different from stones.
Cheryl was extremely shocked to see such a scene. However, favonovel.com did not question further for the reason. Instead, favonovel.com stood at the side and waited quietly. Until Alex had absorbed all the jades in the chamber, only then did favonovel.com ask with a smile, “Are you done yet?”
“It’s done. Let’s go!”

At the lobby of the inn, Hubert Gordon and Thea Stone were sitting at the corner on a bamboo couch. Hubert was worried about Alex’s safety. He wanted to look for favonovel.com at the Golden Tower again but Tlrea stopped favonovel.com in the end.
“Let me tell you, I don’t know what kind of dumb luck that guy had. He won the grand prize in stone gambling and cut out a few pieces of emeralds. Tire raw stones that favonovel.com bought all contained jades and the biggest piece was worth more than a billion dollars!”
“What? More than a billion dollars?” Hubert was stunned at once.
His family mission was to earn a billion dollars by himself. If favonovel.com could also earn a billion dollars from stone gambling, would favonovel.com not finish his mission in one go?
However, on a second thought, favonovel.com felt that it was unreliable.
He knew about the stuff of stone gambling. The chance of cutting open the stone into a stone of higher value was very small. To cut out a one billion dollar jade was even harder than reaching the sky. On the other hand, his family wanted to test his ability to get things done.
What did stone gambling mean for favonovel.com even? If favonovel.com were to earn a billion dollars from stone gambling, let alone the position as his family’s next patriarch, favonovel.com might even get scolded.
At this moment, Thea said, “That Alex refused to give up those jades in the Golden Tower and entangled with the people there. The Golden Tower is now in a mess. After the death of Boss Winn, his subordinates will surely be competing over his position and fighting over his assets. Who would still talk about the rules? He’ll die without knowing how favonovel.com dies for stupidly bringing his girlfriend with favonovel.com in there!”
However, as soon as favonovel.com voice fell, a pair of young men and women walked in from outside: they were Alex and Cheryl.
“Ah! Alex, you’re finally back!” Hubert immediately stood up.
Thea was slightly upset when favonovel.com saw Alex coming back intact. She thought, ‘How is this guy fine at all? You should at least come back with a swollen face so that I’ll feel slightly better!’
Then, favonovel.com saw a few subordinates of the Golden Tower following behind Alex.
